There are 8 main types of tea that are most commonly used today: White, Green, Oolong, Black, and Scented tea. White tea is a China-native tea that is apparently the most pure and unprocessed of all the teas. Unlike other teas, White tea is a lighter shade due to light oxidation and possesses a distinct earthy smell. Green tea is one of the most well-known teas beyond Chinese culture and is very popular in the western culture today and Asia of course! Like other teas, Green Tea also possesses caffeine that can just be as good as that cup of Joe in the Morning, making it a healthy and ideal alternative. Both Oolong and scented tea are not as heavily oxidized and therefore not as dark as black tea. Oolong tea is more exposed to a stronger sun and therefore is subject to dry and curling leaves. The fragrance of Oolong and the taste varies on the materials used to make it. Scented tea is very diverse in its ingredients as well because many different kinds are made by different flowers each and have unique tastes. Black tea is perhaps the most eye appealing because of its very-oxidized dark appearance that almost seems like some sort of soup. Unlike all the other teas, Black tea can go a couple weeks or two before becoming expired. Although its name is black, black tea is actually a dark red that resembles a fermented rice drink paste.

...Building brands, brewing success
Tata Tea is constantly evolving its product and marketing strategy in its effort to give the Indian tea drinker a more delectable hot cuppa
In today's world of intense competition, there is perhaps no marketing mantra more relevant than this — the customer is king.

And as it is with most FMCG products so it is with ta.
The tea industry, with penetration levels close to 90 per cent, is extremely habit-driven. Consumers once used to a brand are not very open to a change in taste profile. Therefore, the acquisition of new consumers (which always have to be from another brand's franchise, given the high level of penetration) is a very challenging task. Yet, Tata Tea has achieved commendable success with its innovative products, savvy packaging, attractive pricing and eye-catching advertising. However, it feels that to sustain this success and continue to grow, understanding changing consumer needs and identifying related challenges and opportunities should be a continuous endeavour.
The company uses a metric that enables it to launch new products, keep its brand image contemporary and retain a large proportion of its consumer base while attracting new consumers, informs...

Tea is a very popular drink in today’s culture in almost every country; they can be served hot or cold, with flavors, milk, lime, lemon, masala, etc. All the different types of tea are derived from one common plant, the Camellia Sinesis.

Though teas are most commonly associated with Asian countries and UK, teas are becoming more popular all over the world. This is due to the benefits that the tea has to offer.

...Tea Cultivation
Today tea leaves are prepared by being plucked by hand from the tea bushes, dried (either in the sun or in drying pans or ovens), then rolled, and finally heated ("fired") in kilns to assure complete drying. In Japan the tea leaves may first be steamed before drying, which tends to produce a slightly different flavor, one sometimes described as more "grassy."
"… the tea plant yields a crop after it has been planted three years, and there are three gatherings during the year: one in the middle of April, the second at midsummer, and the third in August and September. … The plant requires very careful plucking, only one leaf being allowed to be gathered at a time; and then a tree must never be plucked too bare. Women and children, who are generally, though not always the tea gatherers, are obliged to wash their hands before they begin their work, and have to understand that it is the medium-sized leaves which they have to pick, leaving the larger ones to gather dew. When the baskets are full, into which the leaves have been dropped, they are carried away hanging to a bamboo slung across the shoulders…. The leaves are first spread out in the air to dry, after which they are trodden by labourers, so that any moisture remaining in then, after they have been exposed to the air or sun, may be pressed out; after this they are again heaped together, and covered for the night with...

...With Tea
It has been said that the British people ruled an empire so vast that “the sun never set on the British flag.” The British Empire ruled land on every continent and until the late 20th century was the worlds leading superpower. This rise in power and dominance of the world was fueled and directed by the British Empires need to supply its people with a cheap source of tea.
During the late 18th century, the people of Britain were exposed to a new beverage, tea. This beverage soon became the fashionable drink of the wealthy and elite. The wealthy devoted an entire new set of rituals and rules all pertaining to the drinking of tea. During this time period only the elite could afford tea because it would cost “the average laborer nine months pay (Kemp)” for a single pound of tealeaves. This cost was due to the high cost of transport from India, the place of teas origin. In order for the British to get tea, it first had to be bought by the Dutch from China where it was under heavy tariffs, and then sold by the Dutch to English merchants, who in turn sold it to the British Public (Standage 232). This convoluted and complex system added enormous price onto any tea brought into the country. This high price kept tea out of the hands of the common man and led to an ever growing demand for lower tea prices. To satisfy the demand for...

...ubble tea, also known as pearl milk tea or boba milk tea, is a Taiwanese tea-based drink invented in tea shops in Taichung, Taiwan, during the 1980s.[1] The term "bubble" is an Anglicized imitative form derived from the Chinese bōbà (波霸) meaning "large breasts," slang for the large, chewy tapioca balls commonly added to the drink. These are (粉圓, fěnyuán), also called "pearls" (珍珠, zhēnzhū). Most bubble tea recipes contain a tea base mixed with fruit or milk. Ice-blended versions are usually mixed with fruit or syrup, resulting in a slushy consistency.[2]
There are many variants of the drinks, and many kinds of types are used and ingredients added. The most popular bubble drinks are bubble milk tea with tapioca and bubble milk green tea with tapioca.[2]
Bubble teas are typically of two distinct types: fruit-flavored teas and milk teas. However, some shops offer hybrid "fruit milk teas". Most milk teas include powdered dairy or non-dairy creamers, but some shops also offer fresh milk as an alternative. Other varieties are 100% crushed-fruit smoothies with tapioca pearls and signature ice cream shakes made from local ice cream sources. Many American bubble tea vendors sell "milk smoothies", which are similar to bubble tea but do not contain any...

Introduction
When I first knew that I was going to write about coffee, I thought: Oh yeah, this is going to be easy. When I started working on the essay, I found that it was NOT easy at all. My research answers had to be factually correct, and I needed to use my own words to avoid being accused of plagiarism. Since this is my first time writing a factual essay, I faced loads of pressure, including pressure from all the other subjects and tests. In my former school, we just handed in our tasks the next day after the homework was given, instead of holding on to it for so long (This made me worry a lot). I then tried to overcome this fear by telling myself: I can do it if I try hard! We’re all in this together! In the end, I managed to overcome my fears and completed my essay.
